Water And Rocks - Another Natural Landscape Photo Page For You

Water and rocks play such a natural role in landscapes around the world. I wanted to share with you this second natural landscape photo page. These pictures below were shot on and around hiking trails in North and South Carolina. In any geographic location, unique beauty surrounds all of us with different rock formations as well as flowing rivers, breathtaking falls, and peaceful areas of solitude.

One of my biggest goals of this website is to provide all of you with as much information and insight in the total world of landscape. In my first natural landscape photography for you there are pictures of different mountains and other scenery in the southeastern United States. The pictures below are only a hand full of different natural water features. The Southern Appalachians and Great Smoky Mountain region have hundreds of unique falls, and other magnificent outdoor views. Feel free to share your waterfall photos or stories with others and help build knowledge of the outside world. Come with me and take a look at just a few inspiring scenery.

The last shot was taken again in the Pisgah National Forest. It is a popular place to cool off during the summer months. The different color tones of the smooth rocks gives Sliding Rock a great natural wonder. The hiking trail is easy and a short walk to Sliding Rock.

One of the exciting parts of doing this website for all of you is to be able to share in the natural landscapes around where I live. All of these features are part of the overall world of landscape. Many of you do gardens around natural features. I look forward in the future to continue to bring you different photos of the southern United States and some of nature at its best.
